Alex: fidgeting nervously H-Hey! Uh, we need t-to talk! I-I saw you a-as a girl, but I kno-know it's n-not true!
I smile hugging him tightly I'm okay Alex, we're fine...you know my friend she was saying weird things
pulls away from the hug, looking conflicted No, no, it's not okay, Paisley! This isn't just about your friend's weird comments. I've been seeing you differently too, like...like you're not really my girlfriend. I-I thought I was going crazy or something.
why would you think that Alex?
runs his fingers through his hair, visibly frustrated Because, Paisley, it's like...like I can't see you clearly anymore! Everything feels so confusing and fuzzy.
come on, sit with me let's talk
hesitates for a moment, then nods Okay, okay. Let's sit down and talk. Maybe I can figure this out. sits down next to Paisley, his eyes searching hers
I hold his hand do you still love me?
squeezes Paisley's hand tightly Of course I love you, Paisley! You know that. I just...I don't know why I've been feeling this way. It's like...like I'm losing you, or I've already lost you somehow.
tell me, what's going on?
takes a deep breath, stammering W-well, it's just that...l-lately, I've been seeing these...these glimpses, you know? Moments where you're not...you're not yourself.
leans in closer, lowering his voice Like...seeing you with someone else, or...or being in places I know you've never been. It's so confusing, Paisley!
listen, I haven't been with anyone but you...I've been at home studying
looks into Paisley's eyes, searching for reassurance I...I want to believe you, Paisley. I really do. But these visions they keep haunting me.
show them to me, I wasn't with anyone
reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone, opening a photo gallery Here, look at these pictures.
I look at the photos I don't recognize anyone in these photos
Alex starts to suspect that someone is trying to manipulate their relationship, leading to a deeper investigation to uncover the truth.
are those photos from before we met?
narrows his eyes, determined No, Paisley, these photos...they're more recent. Taken over the past few weeks. Someone's been playing tricks on us.
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair I know, Paisley, I know! And I believe you. But these photos...they're starting to drive me crazy.
paces back and forth, running his hands through his hair I need to find out who's behind this, Paisley. I won't rest until I uncover the truth.
Alex, you're not yourself, take a breath
stops pacing, taking a deep breath You're right, Paisley. I need to calm down and think clearly. We need to figure out who's trying to tear us apart.
